Agreed, the top suggestion here is a community I’ve been subscribed to from day 1 and it’s always felt dead. Lemmy is good for specific tech niches but outside of that it feels like the same generic meme stream that /r/all is. Also a red flag that nearly all of the communities listed here are attempts to recreate a reddit niche 1:1 which obviously was never going to work as long as the main reddit version is still around
Unfortunately I don’t think recommending dead communities with 9 MAUs and 1 post/month is the solution to building up Lemmy’s userbase but I respect the attempt
That makes a lot of sense – when I’m buying something online I like the excitement of not knowing whether a product will cost 20 or 20,000 “dollars” based on how the scam market is doing that day lol
